The NDP has increased its lead in two B.C. ridings where official recounts are underway, although the overall race remains close as Elections BC tallies tens of thousands of mail-in and absentee ballots.

In the Oct. 19 general election,  the BC NDP won or led in 46 ridings, the BC Conservatives won or led in 45 ridings, and the Green Party picked up two seats.
